How to use nanoStream Cloud to stream video conference meeting with Zoom

Video conferencing is nowadays a very important tool with so many people working or studying from home. For joining a video-based meeting room, you can use several products, like Skype, Teams, GotoMeeting, or Zoom. Most of them are based on downloadable software products with a clear use case: collaborating and speaking full-screen in a meeting room with a group of team members, colleagues or students.

To share meetings and presentations with larger groups and external viewers, you may want to send your conference to a live streaming platform.Social media platforms like Youtube Live or Facebook Live have their own branded environment and require 3rd party accounts. Also their end-to-end latency is not enabled for interactive applications.
